Regus, the global workspace provider, has opened one of its innovative Regus Express locations at Hilton Manchester Airport.
The new generation workplace, part of the expanding Regus network in the North West, offers local firms and people working on the move a working environment that suits their ever-more flexible working lifestyles. Free tea and coffee is offered.
This is only the second Regus Express to be opened in a hotel location and it brings a new dimension to Hilton Manchester Airport’s existing range of meeting and conference facilities.
The site features a drop-in business lounge with individual workstations called Thinkpods, comfortable seats with laptop stands and phone chargers, as well as free, secure Wi-Fi. Additionally, a suite of high specification meeting rooms seating two to four people is available to book by the hour.
Users of Regus Express at Hilton Manchester Airport will include hotel guests; business travellers; local and national businesses using the facility as a convenient meeting point; and local home-workers seeking a refreshing alternative to working from home.
Richard Morris, UK CEO at Regus, comments, “The opening of our second hotel location testifies to the need for bespoke and dedicated business spaces that match today’s flexible workforce.'
Demand for ‘third place’ work locations is growing steadily, driven by increasing mobility and the rise of remote, flexible and multi-location working. Research from Regus shows that 40% of UK workers spend at least 2.5 days per week working outside of their main office.
The Regus Express network in Britain already covers motorway service areas, retail parks, shopping centres and airports.
